Recent reviews of Knife Skills Class

  • 5/5 from Karla Cisner, attended Oct 2026: Really enjoyed it :)
  • 4/5 from Ayush Jasuja, attended Jun 2026: I had an overall good experience. The instructors were clear and helpful, and I learned useful basics around cutting vegetables safely, creating a stable base before slicing, and handling ingredients like carrots more confidently. I expected to work with a wider range of knives. Most of the class centered around one main knife and a peeler, and I would have liked some exposure to serrated knives, paring knives, and when to use different types of knives. Overall, I’m glad I took the class and learned practical skills. I think it could be even stronger with more variety in tools and knife types.
  • 5/5 from Linda Chow, attended May 2026: Chef Habib Shaleah is really knowledgeable and fun to speak with. His welcome drinks and hummus are a very nice touch. Great tasting hummus and the spring rolls’ dipping sauce. Loved learning from him.
  • 5/5 from Queenie Chan, attended May 2026: The basic knife skills class was a lot of fun and informative too! The sauce and hummus that Chef Habib made were amazing!
  • 5/5 from Tamara Cheng, attended May 2026: Chef Habib was wonderful and I had a great time. And he was thoughtful about explaining everything
  • 5/5 from Burt Hidalgo, attended Apr 2026: I had an absolute blast! The chef was incredible and it was an honor to learn at her family table. She was so knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question. A special shoutout to her sons, who were extremely helpful throughout—they get a 10/10 from me, too! I’ll definitely be taking this class again.
  • 5/5 from Scott Nelson, attended Apr 2026: Great food, fun instructors and techniques. We made fresh spring rolls in a knife skills class
  • 5/5 from Sandy Woo, attended Apr 2026: Instructor was very engaging and knowledgeable. Learned many valuable skills. I think it would be helpful to have a more advanced class. Didn’t realize that some people had no experience with a knife at all.

  • 5/5 from Julio Rojas, attended Feb 2026: In terms of learning knife skills, I got my money’s worth within the first 10 minutes. It was lots of fun and great banter. A full team is devoted to make the experience beyond great. Special thanks to Chef Cassandra for being so upbeat. There’s a beautiful view of the Bay from the Hands On Gourmet studio, it’s a great opportunity to make new friends, and the food we prepared was delicious. I highly recommend it. Stellar experience!
